I want to buy this APU but have a few questions about it.
1)Does it support AMD APU Dual graphics?
2)If yes which graphic cards does it support?(A list or a link would be nice)
3)If I want to play Medium end games which graphic card should I take
4)Which CPU cooler should I take?
(Please tell the prices of GPUs too in INR)
 
Solution
1- if you want to play Modern games at 1080p Medium to high settings i suggest you get a GTX1050ti and overclock it a little or get RX 570
2- if you are planning to use a GPU for gaming then Skip those APUs and get a Ryzen 1400 / 1500x / 1600 ( i suggest you get Ryzen5. 1600 because of 6 cores/12 threads wich will last at least for the next 4-5 years and then you can change that 1050ti/ rx 570 after 1-2 years )
3- a 500w PSU 80 bronze will be more than enought for what i suggested, even overcloked GPU and CPU.

so my final answer for you is, if you cant afford ryzen 1600 get the 1400 + gtx 1050 ti
You're welcome. I think you'll enjoy it. If I didn't say it already though, I think ryzen + chips come out around April so if you wanted to wait your could. I think they will have a little higher clock speeds and a little bump in single core performance also. So something to consider. But a 1600/1600x should still be good for a while also.

If you happen to live near a microcenter, check them out. They usually have good bundle deals on cpus and motherboards.
 
I wouldn't have opted for the tray version of any CPU unless you got a big price difference. Boxed version leaves you with the stock cooler as backup if you ever happen to need it and also tray versions don't have any warranty from AMD at all.
 
I built a 2400G system for a friend of mine, oc'd it to 3.9Ghz/1550 with 3200Mhz ram and it Absolutely Screams!! I put up a video about in fact on XBnPC on Youtube showing he and I gaming on THREE SCREENS!!! Aka Eyefinity on 3x1080p monitors (5760x1080 ~6million pixels...) and it freaking works!! Very well in fact and of course, you can get even higher fps/settings when pushing fewer pixels, but Damm was I impressed with this system. Both for productivity, with it's 4c/8t CPU and the Vega 11 iGPU...there's really nothing he can't do with it today and there's Tons of room to upgrade on AM4 in the future. I'm happy af for him and honestly a little jealous at the Value he got. I was mind boggled watching and playing a game on three monitors, with med/high settings on a Freaking APU!! Great Job AMD!!!

BTW, the board we used was an MSI Tomohawk Plus. It obviously has three video outputs....1xDVI-D, 1xVGA, 1xHDMI. It's around $90 US. All the other parts, settings, gameplay, etc. can be seen in that youtube video. If you're not going to check that out, do yourself a favor and pick up a better cooler. I was able to get the Gammaxx 200T on Amazon for $13... works great for this chip/oc
